Union Bank Farm Halt railway station was on the southern section[1][2] of the St Helens and Runcorn Gap line of the London and North Western Railway.
On 1 October 1911 the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) introduced a steam railmotor service between Widnes and St Helens, and at the same time, opened two new halts along the route: Ann Street Halt and Union Bank Farm Halt.[3][4]
The halt was built in wood and could fairly be described as 'minimal'.[5]
The halt closed on 18 June 1951, when passenger trains were withdrawn between Widnes and St Helens.[3][6]
